Two months!

Shepard is two months old! We went to the doctor this morning for his check-up and got his latest "stats."
He is 23.5" long (68th percentile); 12 pounds, 2.8 oz (64th percentile), and his head measures 15.6 inches (39th percentile). His weight to length percentile is like 38th, so he's longish and leanish. So...clearly not taking after me. {Shelley} Poor thing had to get a few shots and an oral vaccine, but his discomfort seemed short-lived.
He is basically sleeping about 6-7 hours at night without having to feed, with a solid 3 hour sleep just before that. That doesn't quite mean that mom gets that much sleep just yet, as he has needed a bit of momentary consoling here and there during that span; however, usually just a rub on the back and replacing the pacifier is all it takes. Hopefully, I can log some more hours without interruption soon because I'm starting to think I will never get my brain back. Mom-nesia is a REAL THING.
I return to work tomorrow for a few hours and Shepard will go to "school." Just prayerful that we have a good transition all the way around. And that my momnesia doesn't affect me too much at work. Thankful for a cup of morning coffee and great co-workers.
Jerod has started school with students this week, and is already in the thick of it with a new year. We've had a few back-to-school socials where we showed off our sweet Shepard. "Mr. Jones" is well-loved by his Woodlawn School family.

At the moment, I'm deciding whether to wake up the wee one for his "lunch." He should be hungry by now, but he's sleeping so well...I'm certainly ready for lunch, so I might go make that happen.
